A hole of 40 mm diameter and 50 mm depth is to be

drilled in a mild steel component. The cutting speed can

be taken as 65 m/min and the feed rate as 0.25 mm/rev.

time (in sec) will be
(a) 56 (b) 29
(c) 23 (d) 18

Ans.(b)
To drill, free machining stainless steel at a cutting speed of 15 mm/
min with a 15 mm diameter drill, the drill must rotate at a speed of:

Ans.(a)
While drilling holes in steel plate by a 20mm diameter SS drill

with a given feed, the tool life deceased from 40min to 24min

(rpm) the life of that drill under the same condition would be

30min.

(a) 262 (b) 288

(c) 287 (d) 311

Ans.(c)
What is the drilling time for producing a hole in an MS
sheet of 45mm thickness using an HSS drill of 20mm
diameter? The cutting speed and feed for drill are
30m/min and 0.25mm/rev respectively. Neglect time taken
for setting up, approaching and traveling of tools.
(a) 22.6 sec (b) 27.6 sec
(c) 32.6 sec (d) None

Ans.(b)
Which of the following statements are correct in drilling operation?
1. Large amount of helix angle variation is required during drilling of
hard materials.
2. Small point angle is required during drilling of soft materials.
3.Twisted portion of drill bit can be joined to the shank by using friction
welding process.
4.Drilling is a multipoint cutting tool oblique machining operation.

(a) 1, 2 & 3 (b) 2, 3 & 4

(c) 1 ,3 & 4 (d) 1 ,2 & 4

Ans.(b)
 A 15 mm diameter drill with point angle 120° is used to
drill a through hole in a 30mm thick assuming the
length of approach and over travel to be as 2mm. The
time required for drilling two holes if the feed is 0.1
mm/rev and the material is cut with a velocity of 15
mm/min is _________ min

Ans.(2.41)
In drilling operation, if the diameter of the drill bit is
doubled keeping the feed and surface velocity of the bit as
constant, the percentage change in the metal removal rate
will be ----- %.

Ans. 100
